But it wouldn't surprise me if 10 percent off the best 'regular fare' was more expensive than a fare that's claimed to be 'on sale' in their system (which they almost all always are).

It's kind of like the so-called compassion discounts for attending a funeral, which are rarely cheaper and often more expensive than the price currently showing on the airline's site.


Another link from their site...

Maybe you need to pretend it's a wedding to get the discount...
Just saw this now and It made me lol. It is for MY wedding that I talked to WestJet about and I even mentioned the group was for a wedding. Airlines sure don't go out of their way for you when you there is so many "discount" websites out there now.
